Well thats the season all over now. Back to riding to work on monday
and getting me head round riding to work and back in the dark.
Everything seemed a bit depressing on monday with no more races to
train for and nothing to focus on. Ive quite enjoyed doing the hill
climbs as its been 4 years since I last done em. Hopefully if I keep
going through the winter I'll have a better season next year. 4 and a
half months off last year was too excessive as was being 14stone in
february!!"



As for the National hill climb. I placed 49th out of 119 starters in
7'56". So i didnt disgrace myself too much and I was pleased to nudge
under 8 minutes.

It was won by Jonathon Dayus (Arctic RT) in 6'33" with his teammate
James Dobbin 2 seconds back. Scottish Hill Climb champion and Belgian
based rider, Alex Coutts was good enough for 3rd in 6'41" and he
nudged out 5 times National champ Jim Henderson by 1.5 secs.
The winning times seem a bit sick cos, even though there was
tailwind, it still works out at 20.1mph ave speed!! (32kph) the last
half was big ring and had a couple of descent bits in it.

I will put some photos in the groups albums tonight - so watch this
space.
